    Rose's Favorite Classic Bacon & Eggs, with country potatoes!
    Jonny T.

    Mariah C., was super nice, friendly, and helpful! We were waiting for our pup to be groomed, around the corner, so we decided to have brunch at Good Day Cafe. We got our grub on, but didn't pig out, had a thin crispy pancake and cooled out. I can't believe today was a good day, at the Good Day Cafe. Very busy but chill environment, always a great local favorite!

    Side of Sausage links and eggs cooked over-easy. A side of fruit.
    Robert C.

    The waitress greeted me with sincere friendliness the moment I approached the front desk. The bacon waffle tasted so good. The eggs and sausage tasted mediocre however. Plus, the waffle combo and side of fruit prices seemed steep in respect of the food quality. On the other hand, the restaurant has a modern and quaint ambiance which gives it its charm. It's a family-oriented cafe with personality.

    Good Day Omelet

    Great cafe spot I found while working an event at Six Flags. Great atmosphere with great people and great service. Was greeted immediately upon entering and very spacious location. Also has outdoor seating, but it was a bit cold so we chose indoor seating. Order the Good Say Omelet and it was delicious. The bacon and Hash browns very crispy. Service was slow in the beginning, but got better over time.

    Bacon, eggs and rice
    Matt M.

    It's a good place for breakfast/lunch in downtown Vallejo. The service is pretty good and they are pretty busy on the weekends Wifey got the Homemade corn beef hash with fried rice and eggss. She liked it and so did I. My order was simple bacon and eggs with steam rice. Very basic but that's my go to when I can't make up my mind. The place has dine in and outside sitting with restrooms in the back. Our overall experience was good and a spot we shall return too.

    Full stack of pancakes

    Came for Valentine's Day Breakfast ! We were seated right away which was amazing since they were super busy. Orders were taken and drinks given right away. I was surprised with how HUGE the pancakes were . I thought I was gonna be able to finish them but failed haha. Really good tho. We also ordered a cup of fruit , sausage patties , and toast (failed to take photos). I really liked the sausage patties that were thin and well seasoned. No complaints on anything. My Fiancé was skeptical on ordering the country fried steak ( he had a bad experience with a different breakfast spot so was scarred ) but he loved it here ! The boys left nothing on their plates when we were done eating. Staff was friendly and ready to help even tho it was packed . Would definitely recommend

    Quite a yummy breakfast! As a former Vallejoan, I can't believe I've never been here before! I had the two biscuits and gravy, and I was not expecting how big the plate would be. But they were the fluffiest biscuits, and the gravy was great. I also got a side of bacon (crispy!) and it came out perfect. What a nice morning!

    Fresh cornbread with honeybutter was delicious!

    Good Day Cafe is a crown jewel of a restaurant! My wife and I ventured here for our first breakfast experience and were highly impressed with everything from the moment we entered the café, we were greeted and seated immediately. We shared a breakfast and really enjoyed the crab omelet, it was huge and packed with fresh crabmeat! The three egg omelet was perfect for sharing! We ordered it with the amazingly delicious bacon fried rice and the fresh warm cornbread with honeybutter! We enjoyed outstanding service from the waitstaff and especially Seriana! She was a real pleasure serving us! The ambiance is warm and welcoming, very inviting! Thank you very much for a wonderful breakfast experience! We'll see you again soon!

    Crab omelette
    Trisha T.

    Went here on Saturday, wasn't very busy and we were day immediately. Our waitress was really nice and checked in with us for refills and other items we may need, always good. I got the crab omelette, it was a 7/10. I definitely have had better, the crab seemed more like crab salad so it threw me off a bit. It was a bit much but the serving was generous. Egg around it was s bit dry, good but wouldn't get it again personally. My boyfriend had the chicken and waffles. Another solid 7, chicken breast a bit dry but still good. The corn bread was an 8, toasted great, just wish there was more of the honey butter on the side. For such a big piece a warm smooth honey better would have been great but it was still tasty. Ambiance was nice, inside was spacious and there's seating in and outside. I would go back again to try their pancakes, they looked like a hot. Overall, this place is worth a try for sure.

    This is a great spot for breakfast/lunch! My lady and I had a day off together and ended up here for breakfast! YES, I had a cheeseburger for breakfast and I have no regrets. I was very enthusiastic to eat it when it arrived that I burned my tongue but it was VERY flavorful. My lady ordered India's Chicken Pesto and it was a hit! Service was very pleasant. The crowd is very small town so I enjoyed that it wasn't crowded. There's something relaxing about the sounds of a cafe staff cooking and tending to their clients. We will be coming back for more.

    The Serena omelette, the side of bacon, marble rye toast, and country potatoes
    Dear A.

    Thank you, the Serena omelette is stuffed with natural crab, not imitation, avocado, spices, onions, and sliced peppers. Wonderful, top with a layer of crab meat. I also had the country potatoes which were perfectly seasoned, grilled and cooked to tender with onions, marble rye toast, and a side of bacon just to give the omelette a little salt absolutely excellent it will be one of my weekly regulars.

    Corned Beef Hash & Eggs
    Tanya M.

    Hubby and I came here for a late breakfast and it was first time here since the new year. Wow they updated the interior and food presentation since the last time I was here. The place seems brighter and more open to be and I loved it. Even the bathroom was brighter as it was dark for me in the past. I got my fave the hash and eggs plate and it did not disappoint. The service here was great as always along with all the workers being friendly. Hubby got bacon and eggs and enjoyed his food too. The coffee was good and kept filled too. Glad to still be able to come back and enjoy.

    Patty melt cooked medium. Lots of fries. Really good dill pickle.
    John R.

    The food is always good here. Service is quick and friendly. Always locals enjoying a meal in a comfortable place. I had the patty melt with a boat load of fries. Really good!

    Short stack

    It was our first time here, we were here for a car show. This was one of the only places nearby to get breakfast. That being said, this place was packed, and there was a waiting list. After a 15-minute wait, we were seated in no time. This place was a lot bigger on the inside than I thought. They had 2 entrances/ exits, and through each room was a dining area. I believe there is possibly another room in the back and outdoor seating. Looking around you can tell this place has been here for a while, since 1998 I believe. The lady who helped us was super nice, and she took her time with us. We were a party of 14. She wasn't rushing us with how busy they were. Our food was out in no time, and you could taste the quality of the food. I thoroughly appreciated how delicious the food was, even with all the hustle and bustle of everything. My husband and I ordered: 1. Short stack of pancakes: You have the option to have it thin and crispy. We just had it the regular way. The pancakes were fluffy and buttery. The syrup was even piping hot. 2. Hearty country breakfast: They did not skimp on the gravy with the biscuits and gravy. I'm happy I decided to go with sausage patties. It was heaven in every bite. This place was amazing, and I definitely can't wait to come back soon. There are so many more items I want to try

    Joy of Eating has become one of my favorite breakfast spots in Vallejo. I've been coming here since…read moremoving to town about a year and a half ago, and with so many breakfast options around Vallejo, this is the place I keep returning to. The service is consistently excellent, especially from my favorite waitress, the lovely Linda. She is upbeat, welcoming, attentive, and always makes you feel right at home. Best of all, she keeps that coffee cup FULL--it never runs dry! Her warm, friendly service makes every visit feel personal and appreciated. Now, let's talk about the food. Joy of Eating serves some of the BEST country potatoes in town. I've tried plenty of breakfast spots throughout Vallejo, and these potatoes stand out: hot, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. The omelets are beautifully prepared, the pancakes are delicious, and the coffee is always fresh and enjoyable. On my latest visit, I customized the Garden Omelet, which comes with spinach, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms. I added turkey sausage and cheddar cheese, and the combination was excellent. I paired it with those incredible country potatoes and the homemade toast and that toast is absolutely OFF THE CHAIN! Add a little mixed berry jelly, and you have a breakfast worth coming back for. The atmosphere is peaceful, comfortable, and wonderfully down-home. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy a full cup of coffee, savor a hearty meal, and start your day on the right note. I usually visit two or three times a month, primarily for breakfast. I've heard great things about their sandwiches and lunch selections, but breakfast keeps pulling me back. Whether you live in Vallejo or are visiting the area, Joy of Eating is a fantastic choice for a classic, satisfying breakfast with genuinely friendly service. I highly recommend it. And when you go, ask for Linda! Tell her Tamika from Poetry by the Cup sent you. Definitely one of Vallejo's breakfast gems!

Now for the reason I'm even writing this. We walked in this morning with my children getting cranky because they were sitting around with me waiting for our tires to get changed before we came here. Anyways, I let my two youngest children choose theirs then my two older ones were taking a moment (actually moment as in you can measure the time with less than a handful of seconds) some lady leans over the counter to the worker and asks for a donut, the worker obliged (no problem) then the worker put the tongs down to go ring the lady who cut in the middle of us ordering. Maybe I'm getting old and this is the new way of doing business but I'll be dammed if I go out my way to spend the money I make while having to be apart from my family only to have another person take over the service I was receiving! I will never return here and give them the opportunity to disrespect me or my family again! Funny enough as I'm walking out some random guy hears me cussing out loud and yells over to me "that f$&king lady huh!?" lol how does everyone but me know they have horrible customer service here!? My fault for not knowing I drove off and realized my two youngest still had their individually bagged donuts (2 total donuts) so I made a u turn and drove back to toss the bags back into their counter so they don't think I was leaving for a free donut. I left because they have NO respect for families who choose to support their local crap business. I absolutely would never recommend any family coming here, be warned on how they treat people. 0/5 stars

FOOD: My coffee was not extraordinary. I had a latte. By itself it wasn't anything to write home about. I went with my mom and she said the same thing about her coffee. Next time I'll get a mocha, or something adjacent, and see how I fancy that. I had a croissant hot link sandwich which was good, but I wish I asked for some type of spread to go on it. That would have made the sandwich a 10/10. If I was to be picky, I would wish for the croissant bread itself to be fluffier and flakier, but croissants are difficult (and delicious). I tried my mom's breakfast burrito. The potatoes in it needed more love. It wasn't super, but adequate. The absolute best item that I had during my time at 'The Grind Cafe' was the frozen lemonade!!! It was SHMACK! I mixed flavors -- I believe it was green apple and mango. I would go again simply for the frozen lemonade; a perfect treat for everyone. Overall, I suggest you to go and try 'The Grind Cafe'. It is 1000% worth a visit.

I ordered a club sandwich and specifically asked the server to have it cut traditionally into triangles. When it came out, it was once again cut into thick rectangular slices. The sandwich itself tasted good, and the onion rings were good too, but presentation matters--especially when you specifically make a request. When I pointed it out, the response was simply, "Sorry." At that point, I didn't want to send it back and wait for another sandwich. The frustrating part is that this has happened to us multiple times at Buttercup. I don't know if the servers aren't communicating the request to the kitchen or if the kitchen simply doesn't care, but either way, it's something that should be easy to correct. We genuinely like Buttercup and will probably continue coming back, but please, Buttercup--learn how to cut a club sandwich! A traditional club sandwich is cut into triangles. The food is good. The club sandwich execution needs some work.
